Just curious, with the mixed feelings about repaints, boredom, renewed interest, etc., where everyone was with the Movie Line;
Which (if any) of the reg. line figures are you still wanting?
AND
Of the crop of repaints coming out, which of those are you wanting/willing to buy????

I only have 11, and thought I had everything I wanted when I picked up Wreckage last week.
After going back and seeing what's coming out (and what I still don't have),
my tentative list is as follows (and is prioritized):

1. Landmine
2. Premium Jazz (I never picked up the reg.)
3. Grindcore
4. Big Daddy
5. Jolt
6. Stockade
7. Drop Kick
8. Scorponok

I would also get a Nightwatch Prime if they made him in the Voyager Class.
As far as the new Jetstorm and Wingblade, I'll need to see their bot modes, and then see how much is in the checking account when I see them on the shelves.

Anyone totally done with the line
(as in, no more Movie Figs!!)
????

I’m going to buy just about everything I don’t already own, may pass on a bunch of the premiums.

Landmine duh!? I did luckily pick up Armorhide Today which I also really wanted. But until now its only landmine and Incinerator, and maybe that premium Prime or the Allspark Voyager repaint, I need an Optimus prime for my collection.

I hadn't bought any of the movie toys (except legends Prime and Barricade) until very recently when I was taken in by Dropkick. I liked the look of his design, plus I'm always interested in toy-line (or video game, in this case) only toys. He's cool and I like him more than most movie line figures.
The only other firgure I'd want, though he isn't in the shops anymore, is Wreckage. He's just f*****g awesome.

by **YeekJat** » Sat Jan 12, 2008 5:25 pm

All I need is concept bumblebee.

by **inadvertent imitation** » Sat Jan 12, 2008 5:49 pm

Leader Brawl
Cliffjumper
Landmine
Premium BB (I predict that's going to be another nightmare on level with the first Concept BB)
Premium Starscream
Premium Leader Megatron

And I still have yet to buy the Thundercracker and Rescue Ratchet Voyagers.

I'm serious in getting all the figures I don't have. The movie line is awesome.. and the articulation of the figures is something we probably won't see till TF2

News Credits: 337 · by **Air Commander Starscream** » Sat Jan 12, 2008 6:45 pm

Unfortunately I am a completest (figures only, I don't get all the gadgets and what not) and so I will be getting every exclusive and repaint... Damn my wallet already hurts. I am caught up to everything before the Allspark.

EDIT: actually I am still missing Best Buy Megatron and Ratchet.

News Credits: 668 · by **Autobot032** » Sat Jan 12, 2008 6:52 pm

I have one of each individual mold, without repaints/molds (nor do I have Voyager Prime and Megatron...yech.) so all I need is Incinerator and Stockade and I'm done. Now if Hasbro decides to throw in a new mold down the line, sure, I'll get it.

It's weird to see it finally come to an end. I mean after all of the scrambling to get these figures and now it's over...weird.

I mean, I knew the time was coming but it came so quickly. It will definitely be a memorable line though, I've never been this frustrated, yet satisfied by a TF line in quite some time.

Man, the list of Movie Transformers is gigantor...

While I already have about 33 bots out of the Movie line, I'm sure I still need a good 60 or more to get until I have gathered up all the bots that I want from that line. And I do want all of them.

In fact, whenever I see a Transformer for sale that I don't have, and if I can afford it, I buy it (except Animated & Playschool TF's).

I'm getting more of the Concept BB repaint. I just love that mold. Getting Big Daddy too. If the rumor is confirmed, the Movie repaints of Jetfire and Wing Saber.

by **Auto Bot** » Sun Jan 13, 2008 9:26 am

I already got everything i want from the Movie line. (That's not equivalent to all of them.)

Plus, i've started with Allspark line. Got Landmine.

Now i'm waiting for Stockade and Incinerator to show up soon.

by **Dreadwolf** » Sun Jan 13, 2008 9:41 am

All I really want to get now is Landmine, Cliffjumper, and Stockade.

News Credits: 12 · by **GuyIncognito** » Sun Jan 13, 2008 9:59 am

I just got a Nightwatch OP this morning. I still want Stockade and the new prop-plane (I forget his name. You know - Ol' Propeller-Hands), and that's it. No more repaints for me. Maybe Big Daddy.

Website · by **DeathNoble** » Sun Jan 13, 2008 11:47 am

Landmine
Stockade
Incinerator
Stealth Bumblebee
Jolt
Grindcore
Jetstorm
Wingblade

by **Ultra Prime** » Sun Jan 13, 2008 12:41 pm

I'm not a completist simply because I can't afford it. But I do appreciate repaints for the simple fact that it allows me two of the same mold without having two of the same TF per say. That being said I'm planning on getting the following remaining Movie figs;

Cliffjumper
Stockade
Salvage
Evac
OffRoad Ironhide
Incinerator
Desert Leader Brawl
Nightwatch Optimus

As for repaints of figs from other lines I plan on getting;

Storm Surge
Crosshairs
Big Daddy
Grindor
Wingblade
Jetstorm - Not sure since I've got Cyb Jetfire & Skyshadow.

And since I'm not interested in the Animated figures then I can pace my wallet at getting this list until Classics 2.0! :grin:

News Credits: 6 · by **City Commander** » Sun Jan 13, 2008 12:49 pm

Landmine
Evac
Premium Prime
Premium Ironhide
Premium Ratchet/G1 styled Ratchet
Allspark Big Daddy
Allspark Wingblade

That's it I think

by **Mandamus** » Sun Jan 13, 2008 3:52 pm

I'd like to get premium Bumblebee for the new head mold alone. I think I'll pass on the rest of the premiums.

Also these:
First Strike Prime
Big Daddy
the red Dropkick

I may pick up some others if I like them when I see them in person but those above are the ones I def want and plan to hunt for.

by **MaP_Prime** » Sun Jan 13, 2008 4:01 pm

For me Dropkick is at the top of my list. Then after that are the new ones coming out for All Spark, being Stockade, Incinerator and maybe Landmine. I'm more interested in getting more Decepticons lately though as I want to even out their numbers with the Autobots in my collection.

News Credits: 9 · by **Sowndwave76** » Sun Jan 13, 2008 4:26 pm

Oh yeah,

I forgot, I may be also getting Premium SS, and that blue Ironhide.

News Credits: 972 · by **i_amtrunks** » Sun Jan 13, 2008 5:36 pm

Longarm

Yeah, thats about it.

by **thunderwave** » Sun Jan 13, 2008 6:54 pm

i am looking forward to landmine, offroad ironhide, jungle bonecrusher, warpath, overcast, and evac.

NEW/ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS
(so I don't have to start a new thread):

1. Which repaints have you bought, and are there any you're still planning on buying?

The only ones I have are Metallic Megatron, and I JUST picked up a Nightwatch Prime tonight (but I'm not sure I'm going to keep it).

2. Are any of you skipping the repaints such as Jolt, Grindcore, Wingblade, etc. because they are TRULY older molds?

1. I plan on buying all I can from the movie line, of repaints I have though, it would be Rescue Ratchet, Voyager magatron (both versions), Thundercracker and both versions of Arcee and the Battle damaged Prime that came with her.

2.No.
